I’m looking for opinions on what my Cub Cadet LT1042 is worth. I bought it for only $50 a few months ago. I have installed a new air cleaner with pre-filter, fuel filter, spark plug, LED light bulbs, oil filter with oil change, and new front tires. It has the notoriously bad Kohler Courage 19hp engine and once it warms up it leaks a decent amount of oil… Right now, other than the minor oil leak, the only problem is that the PTO/clutch to engage the mower deck is bad. I have it for sale as is for $450 OBO. How much would the value increase if I did install the new $145 PTO/clutch so that the mower deck works? It’s just that I don’t know if it’s worth investing $145 into something with a Kohler Courage that already leaks oil.
Also, it has 500 hours. Is that low or high or normal?
Any input is much appreciated.
